SEPARATING CONDENSER AND COOLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,056, dated May 22, 1883.

Application filed January 13, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it? known that I, FRANK SONIER, of Peoria, in the county of Peoria, in the State of Illinois, have invented a Separating Condenser 5 and Cooler; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which like letters of reference refer to like parts, and in which the figure represents a central vertical section of the same.

This invention is for the purpose of construetin g a simple and effective apparatus for the distillation of high-proof high-wines from 1 beer and separating the same from the lowwines.

In the drawing, H represents a Jarvis column or other distilling apparatus; B O D F, the condensing and separating part of the ap- .20 paratus, and J K L M the further condensing and cooling part.

D D is a water-tank having inlet-pipeP and overflow-pipe 1?. 'Within this tank D, I place a copper cylinder, 0, having a convex bottom,

2 and within said cylinder 0 a still smaller copper cylinder, B, having a concave bottom. The top of this latter cylinder, B, is left open, but the space between the sides of the two cylinders B and G is securely closed by an annular 0 cover. Within this said closed space is placed a coil of copper tubing, F, the lower end, F, of which connects with the beer-pum p, and the upper end, F goes over into the Jarvis column H. At the top of this inclosed annular space there is a copper pipe, E, opening therein, the other end of which connects with the column H. At the bottom of this said space, between the two cylinders B and O,there are two outletpipes, A and G, the. latter of which goes to the column H, and the other, A, passes up and over to the cooler and condenser J K L.

The condenser and cooler J K L consists of the outer column, L, for the reception of water introduced through the pipe P and overflow 5 P Within said column L is a smaller copper cylinder, K, the; upper one-third of which is invertedly conical, as shown. .Within this cylinder K is a still smaller copper cylinder, J, the upper part of which is somewhat conical.

These two cylinders J and K have closed and independent tops, but no bottoms, except the bottom of the annular space between them, which is securely closed. Two or. more pipes, O, permitafreecireulation of water up through the cylinder J, as well asthe column L. The

or more pipes, N, permit thewater to circulate freely within the cylinder B as well as the water-tank D.

The operation of my apparatus is as follows: The beer, being pumped up through the pipe F, passeson through the coil F, and from thence over into the column II, where, dripping downward, it is vaporized by an upward current of steam. This vapor and the steam then pass upward together through the pipe E, and down into the space between the cylinders B and O, and all about the coil of pipeF, which,withthebeertherein,isquitealittleheated thereby. Further cooling and condensation 7 of this vapor and steam is effected by the water in the tank D and cylinder 13, the temperature of which is kept at about 160. The condensed steam and low-wines thence flow downward through the pipe G into the-column H, while So the uncoudensed high-winespa-ss up through the'vapor-pipe A, and thence down into the space between the cylinders J and K, where it is condensed by the enveloping cold water. From here the high-proof high-wine goes down 8 and around through the long spiral channel made for it by the helical web M, where it is sufliciently cooled by the surrounding water, and from which it is conducted to any desired receptacle.

I claim as my invention the following, to Wit:

1. The two cylinders B and 0, arranged as described, in combination with an inlet-pipe,

E, outlet-pipes A G, and coil of pipe F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The two cylinders B and 0, arranged as described, coil of. pipe F, and pipes E, A,and G, in combination with a water-tank, D, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In combination with a water-containing column, L, two cylinders, J and K, the space between their sides being inclosed and provided with a helical web, M, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. In combination with a Water-containing column, L, the two cylinders J K, the space between their sides being incloseil and enlarged at its upper part, as shown, and the lower portion of said space being provided with a helical web, M, as set forth.

The cylinders B and O, coil of pipe F,

pipes E, G, and A, and water-tank D, in comvention I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of January, 1883.
